Always Go To Important Meetings

Mar 04, 2014

I realise that Fran Bailey was advised by her doctor to not travel to Canberra
for this
meeting,
but wow, it certainly had some pretty dire consequences for the country. By not
going, and not being able to vote for Malcolm Turnbull, we end up with a Prime
Minister that says stuff like this:

“We have quite enough national parks. We have quite enough locked up forests
already. In fact, in an important respect, we have too much locked up forest.

“Why should we lock up as some sort of World Heritage sanctuary country that
has been logged, degraded or planted for timber?

“We all know Tasmania has the lowest wages in Australia, it has the lowest GDP
per head, it’s got the lowest life expectancy, it’s got the lowest educational
retainment in the country and it’s got the highest unemployment, and funnily
enough for the last eight years it has had a government in large measure
dominated by the Greens,” he said.
